Additional Details

A lyrical image by Heinz Hajek-Halke, who was one of Germany''s foremost photomontagists. Originally a photographer for Presse-Photo Berlin, he experimented with montage and cut-outs in 1925. The typewritten caption explains that this print was produced by the movement of a wire in combination with a photogram, a sculptural form that Hajek-Halke referred to as "Lichtgrafik."
